Before it was all ok. The world was right. Twilight would have me over and help me practice with some of her objects. I worked so hard to get into the Academy. She was a real good friend. I saw why she was the Princess of Friendship. I was so happy when I graduated I went straight to her. She will always hold something in my heart. I will never forget that day. Not a single second of it.

Just 3 months prior.

A small pony ran straight through ponyville. She wore a bright shiny new armor. Her horn lit up as her long spear followed above her. She was careful not to hurt any pony as she ran straight for the large castle in the center of town.

She ran up and knocked on the door with excitement in her eyes. A scroll hidden behind her back as the doors swung open and a purple alicorn answered.

"Hey Crystal look at you! You got your armor! That is awesome!"

The pony was a bit shorter then most but she was happily jumping out of her her skin as she failed at hiding her smile.

"I got far more than that." She said as she pulled the scroll from behind her. "I just graduated!!!" She said jumping up and down as the princess joined her excited jumping.

"Oh my Goodness Crystal that is amazing, come in, come in. I will have Pinkie throw you a party if you like. I know you love the cake." Twilight said as she had Crystal come in and follow her down the hall. Little did Twilight know she hadn't gotten the door all the way closed, just a crack stood away from the outside world.

Crystal followed her in as they headed toward, her library. "So when do you start? Where will you be working?"

Crystal set down her spear on a rack in the hall. "I start next Monday. And I believe they are keeping me here for now. Working small issues with the crime here. Like there is hardly any. I think they are just wanting me on small stuff till i prove myself."

It was just then loud bangs came for outside. Like somepony shooting a cannon. Crystal chuckled, "I think they want me to work on Pinkie honestly, get her to get a quieter cannon. Something about midnight cannons."

"I have heard Pinkie's cannon for years, and that one isn't Pinkie's." Twilight said as she ran toward the window. "That one sounds more powerful, and smaller."

Crystal looked up in shock. She perked up her ears as she heard the sound of the front door slam open. Down the hall ran a young filly covered in blood.

"Princess hurry he is coming-" She never finished that sentence as another loud canon struck from behind. A small hole pierced through her head as she looked in fear at the Princess. The filly had a small piece of metal fly through her skull. Crystal stepped back in shock. She had never seen anything like this. For something, like this, this can't be happening. She could think about that now, the filly said it was coming. She looked around to Twilight as she tried to put up a fearless face.

"Princess get to the safe room now!!!" She yelled as she levated her spear from the rack. Hoof step got closer as somepony walked down the hall. Twilight didn't move she just stared at the filly who had just died on her floor.SHe stood still as Crystal scream for her to hide. Another cannon sound went off and Crystal turned and shoved her spear at what she had hoped was the pony that did this. She was right. A black unicorn horn went out, and he dropped the small cannon looking device. He fell to the floor with Crystal's spear still in his throat. She left it there as his eyes rolled back, and blood ran onto the floor. She turned back to Twilight to get her out in case of more. But As she turned she realized a small hole in Twilight's head much like the filly. She held a blank stare as blood trickled down her face.

"Twilight, no." Crystal cried as she watch Twilight fall onto the floor. She turned around trying not to look at her. Tears wielded as more hit the floor. SHe looked back at the monster that did this. She noticed something. She saw a small scroll rolled up getting covered in his blood. She lit up her horn as she pulled the dripping note and tried to make out the words.

There will be no friends in this war

She dropped the note as she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. She wanted to pick up her spear and fight, but she just could find her energy to move anymore.

"Twilight? What was that noise?" She heard as a small dragon walked around the corner. He stopped in his tracks as he stood at the scene in front of him. "Crystal looked at him as she wept and pulled him in. He didn't speak or move, he could only stare as his eyes began to fill. Crystal took a deep breath and pick up the note that the stallion had. She pulled a she pulled a paper from the other room and wrote a letter for Celestia.

She wrote and cried over the small piece of paper as she tells her what just happened. And she explained to her that she was coming to canterlot to get all the princess there immediately. She lit her horn and sent the letter. As she then pulled her spear from the unicron and picked up the crying dragon. Spike screamed begging her to let him stay but she pull him onto her back, and took off running.

Her mind was a little foggy, but she knew one thing. She had to get to canterlot.

Author's Note

Ok so this is a story I have had for a while. Sorry if the beginning is upsetting to you, if it is probably best you don't read the rest.

Also i am looking for an editor, if you happen to know somepony that could proof read these things. That would be awesome.
